There is no one formal definition for AI in Israel. Yet, most operational definitions refer to AI as the technology which grants computers the ability to perform tasks that would have required thinking capability or skills generally attributed to humans. At the same time, it is worth noting that the term AI is also widely used in Israel as a synonym for the “fourth industrial revolution” (4IR) and entails ancillary technological areas such as big data, IoT , automation, robotics, swarms, and more. As such, AI is acknowledged in Israel as a strategic technology – “an infrastructure of infrastructures” – with the potential to reshape military affairs, the global economy, and the distribution of power within the international system.

This paper examines how Israel’s national AI program was created. It reviews two documents that were published as part of this national effort and analyses their vision, objectives, recommendations and ethical and regulatory frameworks. The paper argues that similar to other discussions on National AI Strategies, the Israeli case shows how national visions of innovation shape the outlook on the implementation of AI in society. Yet, it also shows how a specific and deeply-rooted ethos in Israeli culture made it choose a different course and focus on a “national program” instead of “national strategy”. The reason for choosing such a course was to maintain agility and promote innovation. But as I show in this paper, this decision bears important implications regarding ethical and regulatory issues. This, I argue, make the Israeli case unique in the growing literature on national AI strategies. I conclude by suggesting that a strategic effort is needed in Israel and argue that more stak...
What is Artificial Intelligence ? , 2023
In our Age of Information, the new catchword, Artificial Intelligence (AI) gets established more and more. Till now I heard in this context the term Digital Age or fitting for our children the combination Digital Generation. So – how to understand this catchword? This term Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a very comprehensive one. Journalists or public speakers use it actually very often, because it includes all what sounds up to date and interesting new - in life and work. Most of us know: Information Technology (IT), and Industrial Production by robots are involved. It’s fascinating but not yet exact understandable. This term is not new; it was created about 1950 in USA but it’s content gets just now in center of actual IT-world. Scientific thinking people need and create more staying and definitive terms. They want understand connections to the original reasons. Therefore, I try in the following text a discussion of some headwords in this connection. We need to know, what AI is.

◊ Artificial intelligence (AI) since the early 2010s has witnessed a series of technical breakthroughs due to the increase in computing power, the amount of data generated and the application of machine learning techniques. ◊ Artificial intelligence will have major economic impacts by increasing productivity worldwide. However, many jobs, both blue- and white-collar workers, are at risk of being automated. This implies that important efforts in terms of education and training will have to be undertaken to keep these people on the job market. ◊ Artificial intelligence will also have major impacts on international and national security. It will rebalance the international balance of power, empower individuals and shift the global strategic balance towards those states that have a strong AI industrial base and heavy investment, both public and private, in AI research and development. ◊ The Arab Gulf countries will also be faced by the economic and security implications of AI. It has the potential to profoundly change the economic structure of Gulf societies. Expats will be the hardest hit by automation, but AI is also expected to profoundly affect governmental jobs. This implies that Gulf countries governments have to massively invest in education to best prepare future generations for this transformation. Continuing education programmes also have to be put in place to provide national workers with re- and upskilling opportunities. ◊ In terms of military and security consequences, selforganised collective decision-making in swarms of autonomous agents will likely become a defining feature of future battlefields. The impact of swarming strategies has the potential to upset the offensedefence balance and impact strategic stability both regionally and globally accordingly. It will also act as a force multiplier for non-state actors that could directly impact the Gulf countries’ military forces operating in Middle Eastern theatres of operations. ◊ The cyber domain will be very conducive for the development and engagement of fully autonomous weapons as surrogates. Given the Gulf region’s past record with regard to cyber-attacks, one cannot exclude that AI will magnify instability in the region. ◊ The use of artificial intelligence for massive manipulations through the forgery of images, films or voices is already a reality. Its use by malicious actors has the potential to magnify the tensions in the Gulf region and increase its instability. ◊ The broadening of the scope of threats, vulnerabilities and potential mis- and malicious uses of AI, but also of other emerging technologies, calls for a rethinking of global governance mechanisms so that they can better deal with dual-use technologies.
The engines of the first industrial revolution were coal and steam, the second -electricity and cars, the third -computers and the Internet. Now, it seems, we are witnessing the fourth: the driving force of which will be artificial intelligence. This will require an unprecedented level of cooperation between governments, manufacturers, academia and civil society, all will be leaded by the role of AI in education, it is gradually becoming the "new engine" of dynamic growth of the national economy. The paper explores the main trends in the development of artificial intelligence, the study revealed that at present the field of artificial intelligence can be considered as a combination of cognitive science and computer science, that includes all aspects of using artificial intelligence in various spheres of life, such as: linguistics science, psychology, logic and Philosophy, mathematics industry, agriculture, public service, education, banks and finance, medicine, transport and transport system, household and services. The expediency of introducing innovative technologies in various fields, including a future perspective, is argued. Also the paper confirms that Artificial Intelligence is not for the student of Computer Science and Information technology only, but it is a methodologies to improve living standards, achieving social and economic equality, space exploration, migration, as well as its relationship with culture and art.
Land Forces Academy Review
The paper is a non-technical approach to artificial intelligence (AI), the author claiming no competence in the technology field. It expresses the view of a person interested and concerned about the role of artificial intelligence as an elevator of international power. It is a review of how the United States of America officially recognizes the benefit of artificial intelligence intervention in the military domain and its usefulness for ensuring national security. Artificial intelligence, a booming technological field, influences our existence as individuals, societies, and states. It affects more and more areas of activity, attracts into a continuous mechanism of development and innovation both the state (as the center of decision and political action) and the society (the big companies producing technology and academics), requires the state to develop strategies in the field and puts on the world leaders agenda a new issue of hope and fear at the same time.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming one of the major evolutions in global politics along with other emerging technologies that comes under the umbrella terms of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. This new revolution has been challenging the traditional notion of economy and security since its inception. Many countries are investing massively in the advancement of this technology, and now it has become an indispensable aspect of global power. All countries have different approach of adoption and implications. China, United States and India have introduced their strategy paper on AI and policy makers are utilizing these emerging technologies as per their needs with the consideration of the environment of the society. There is no universal pattern on the policy making as there is no universal laws and norms of the usage of this technology and hence it creates apprehensions and hope among nations. This paper is focusing on the policies that have been introduced by major countries and it will critically analyze the opportunity and challenges to the global politics and its impact on nations. AI is creating another kind of digital divide and technological advancement gap between developed and developing nations. The quest of supremacy in AI between China and the United States is a major concern among nations as well as main determinant in policy making.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought about revolutionary changes in the history of mankind as did Combustion Engine or Electricity centuries ago. It is more an enabler than a mere invention. It has enabled technology to take giant leap towards incorporating innovation in every sphere; be it commercial or military purpose. Throughout the history, technology has played vital role in shaping the global politics and eventually the balance of power. World leaders, military commanders, corporate trailblazers unanimously agree that AI is going to be the next determinant in global power. The leading nations are therefore putting in unprecedented effort to remain in the forefront of the race. In this era of information warfare and hybrid warfare, AI is more pronounced than ever. Sixth generation drones and autonomous weapons are already being used in the recent conflicts. While nations are busy in the competition, they cannot ignore the ethical concern involved with its maximum military use. How much autonomy should be ethical in the use of AI in military technology remains as a matter of thoughtful consideration. While there are many dimensions of discussing AI, this article is going to give an insight how AI is reshaping balance of power and what should be the global approach to embrace this technological wonder in the wake of ethical concern.
The first arms race was the naval race during World War I, followed by the Cold War between United States and the Soviet Union, scaling up nuclear weaponry right after the end of World War II. The human race has been able to manage the prisoner's dilemma inherent to these competitions so far, and now faces a new test with the advent of a new technology breakthrough: Artificial Intelligence. This is a series of articles on the topic providing a vision toward an artificial intelligence explosion in the context of current economic changes supporting a shift in our economy toward an altruistic model. ___________________________________ Introduction: • Technological singularity seems plausible and recent advancements in machine learning and AI suggest the ‘intelligent explosion’ event is within reach in this century. • An arms race of narrow AI entities will happen in the framework of today’s traditional economy. Strong intelligence or AGI will eventually emerge followed by an explosion of intelligence. • New globalization processes driven by technology are fueling the sharing economy, as well as the 4th sector where public, non-profit, social and mission oriented enterprises are converging. • The 4th sector is poised to grow and thrive enabled by the sharing and collaborative economy; mission driven enterprises will have more resources enabling them to play a key role shaping the right path for AI evolution. • The AI arms race will provide ‘good’ and ‘bad’ entities in the context of existing and new economy environments (traditional and altruistic economies) • We, humans, as a species, can succeed managing the risks of a superintelligence event as we did in the past overcoming other technology threats (i.e nuclear).

DEADLY ALGORITHMS Destructive Role of Artificial Intelligence in Gaza War, 2025
Israel has been enhancing its military capabilities by extensively using AI technologies in both defense and offensive operations. Defense systems like the Iron Dome use AI-supported radars to detect and intercept missile threats automatically, thereby minimizing human intervention and increasing operational efficiency. Similarly, AI-based offensive systems such as Habsora and Lavender offer autonomous functionalities by eliminating human involvement in target detection and attack planning. However, the employment of these technologies in civilian areas has resulted in substantial civilian casualties, and open sources provide substantial evidence that Israel has violated international law during these military operations. Especially after October 7, 2023, Israel has heavily deployed AI technologies in its large-scale attacks on Palestine. During these operations, the acceptance of civilian casualties as “collateral damage” and the disregard for civilian areas in target identification violate the fundamental principles of international humanitarian law. The ethical and legal dimensions of Israel’s AI-supported attacks harming civilians have been criticized by human rights organizations and the international community.The destructive effects of these AI-powered operations on the civilian population further exacerbate human rights violations.
